You are all invited to a lecture on the Monmouth College campus entitled The Book of Job in Community: Theater, Liturgy, Care, by Prof. Mark Larrimore, Professor of Religious Studies at Eugene Lang College, New York. Held on Monday, March 24th, at 7:00 pm in the Morgan Room of Poling Hall on Broadway. In his presentation, Dr. Larrimore will explore how the story of Job has been enacted, drawing upon the drawings of William Blake, various theatrical stagings of the story of Job (including a recent reading in Joplin, Missouri following the tornado), the liturgy of the dead, the Book of Hours, and other forms of communal worship and performance. Dr. Larrimore is interested in how the communal enactment of the story helps bring solace to the individual. Larrimore is the author of The Book of Job: A Biography (Princeton University Press, 2013)
